Reverse description The reverse presents a bold portrait bust of the Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral in right-facing three-quarter view, rendered in high relief with detailed beard and period costume including armour. Behind the figure, to the left, a large Portuguese carrack under full sail is depicted on open seas, with a longboat and crew visible in the foreground waters. The explorer holds a navigational compass rose in his hands. The arched legend EUROPA E OS NOVOS MUNDOS runs along the upper rim, bordered by a rope motif, while PEDRO ALVARES CABRAL curves along the lower rim. The engraver's initials appear at lower right in the field.
